Mini Boots Haul. Home highlighting?

I got my money today, so decided to buy myself some things from boots. A new mascara, I've never tried this one before, I always have the purple one from Maybelline because I know it works for me. I'll give this one a go and let you know how it turns out.

I needed more moisturiser. And I need to rehighlight my hair, so being as i'm trying to save money, i'm going to do it myself. First time trying this guys, so it could quite possibly go incredibly wrong haha. we'll see.

I'll take before and after shots etc so I can show you what happened :P

New Hair

I had my hair highlighted, so now it's less orange and more blonde. I'm going to have more blonde put through it on Thursday, which should look good ^o^

I need to get my make up sorted out, as i've sort of drifted away from the Gyaru style I was and now i'm trying to incorporate it with a rock-ier edge. Dark makeup, black clothes etc.

I have a tonne of new buys over the past few weeks while I've been home. I'll take photos and show you ^o^

I may be giving the blog a make over at some point too~

Home and new hair

Hey guys, long time no speak :)

I'm at home now, so i have more time to experiment with my gyaru style~

I've decided to give my hair a makeover over this Xmas. I'm going BLONDE,

yes... BLONDE. *(i soo totally typed blind then :O whoops)*

Photos shall be up when i've had it done. I'm going to wait until after Xmas, so then i'll have money and I can buy new clothes too.

Thanks to University i've lost weight, plus my hair is really long :D

Rose Bud Nail Tutorial - Easy

Just a quick easy tutorial for beginners~ I did this in a rush, so it looks a bit messy but take it slower and you'll get a better result. detail is key.

For this you will need:

+ Clear Nail Varnish for top and bottom coats.

+ Pale Pink Nail Varnish (I used Eyeko's Petite Polish)

+ Dark Pink Nail Varnish (I used Rimmel's Hot Shot)

+ Pale Green Nail Varnish (I used a George at Asda green)

+ A Thin Paintbrush (Or a cocktail stick'll do)

1- First paint your nails with a clear bottom coat.

2- When dry paint your nails with the light pink. About 2 - 3 coats should be fine.

3- Now grab your paintbrush (or cocktail stick) and dip it into the pink. Paint curved moon shapes randomly on the nail.

4- Paint a smaller, almost dot shape, inside each of the moons. Be careful not to make the two parts touch, or it will just look like a blob. lol They should look a bit like rose buds now.

5- Switch to the pale green now and paint leaves either side of each bud.

6- When dry, finish off by applying a top coat.

I only did the pattern on two nails, but you can do it on as many as you like. It would probably look awesome if every nail was done like it ^o^

I hope you like it! If you decide to try it out, please send me a link to your photos, or post it in a comment ^^

My attempt at Gyaru Make up~

I've never done the whole circle lenses, eyeliner + lashes thing before, so I decided to have a go at it. Being as I've got nothing much to do today and wanted to have a go at it ^o^

What do you think?

I took photos of each step of make, so i might post like a photo tutorial thing if any of you are interested. I actually quite like the last photo lol. First time I've managed to put my hair in a high bun without it falling out. Used my SBYxRanzuki hairband ^o^

Sweet Shop nails

Just something simple for the weather. These are the sweet nail stickers that my friend got me from Hong Kong. I spoke about them a few posts back. I added some flowers from the bunch I got from Hong Kong a few years ago :D Im suprised they still stick after all this time.

I bought this nail varnish in London. I like it, it's just a light shimmer of gold. It's from INGLOT, number XL2. Cost me £7 straight from the store. Not too bad of a price to be honest, but a fortune compared to the ones I get from Asda.

Here's my hair for today. I tried tying a neck scarf on my head, but it looks a bit strange on one side because it's flat there. But I'll find a way to make it stick up more. I need to get hold of some ribbon so I can make some bows for my hair. Maybe an oversized one or two.

Ignore my face in the picture lol. I didn't have any makeup on. at all. I'm going to try doing some Gal make with my lenses. Around... 1.30pm ish, cause then my lenses wont get irritating until I get home from work.
